ID 1.5.1.24 DE N(5)-(carboxyethyl)ornithine synthase. CA N(5)-(L-1-carboxyethyl)-L-ornithine + NADP(+) + H(2)O = L-ornithine + CA pyruvate + NADPH. CC -!- In the reverse direction L-lysine can act instead of L-ornithine, CC more slowly. CC -!- Acts on the amino group (cf. EC 1.5.1.16). DR Q9CG73, CEO1_LACLA ; P15244, CEO2_LACLA ; //
